Transcranial stimulation in depression

Charlotte Allan et al. Br J Psychiatry. 2012 Jan.

Abstract

Transcranial direct current stimulation is coming of age with the large treatment study published in this issue. We review transcranial stimulation methods, their efficacy and the likely impact on National Health Service (NHS) practice. Their use in individuals who do not respond to or cannot tolerate medication should now be explored in large controlled naturalistic studies in the NHS.
